Gramma Char, you all must have some special Texas Swamp MW! Still in gorgeous bloom! Is it unusual to be blooming so late there? Ours here has all set seed and pods are dry.
Found four large Monarch cats when I went to cuts stems to feed the hungry babies. Brought them in on the last of the viable stems and plunked them stems and all into a vase with some Tropical MW stems I had also gathered. LOL. by the time I got up to the house, all of those four had made a beeline for the Tropical and were happily munching away! Guess that answers questions of preference!
